Extremely telling of what? You’re not applying any kind of context to the discussion that I was having. That’s what media does to anger people on both sides.

Yes, I’d rather have politicians focus on economic policy and foreign relations rather than woke and/or anti woke rhetoric. 1.) I don’t think politicians need to insert themselves in these discussions. I think it’s a waste of time and there are far more important things to worry about 2.) I think a lot of woke/ anti-woke is an exaggeration and fear mongering that both sides use to rile up their bases. Your emotional posts on the topic certainly is a representation of that imo.

But Go never said anything about woke. You brought it into the conversation out of left field:

I’m not a huge fan of a few of them though due to some of the identity politics that they can’t stop talking about. Though I agree with some of what they say, I’m pretty tired of the anti woke rhetoric. It’s probably why I’m starting to sour on people like desantis and Vivek. It’s about all they seem to talk about lately.

If you don't want to talk about it, why did you bring it up? And then you try to somehow slide your butt firmly in the middle by responding later, " I think a lot of woke/ anti-woke is an exaggeration and fear mongering", and yet your original comment was squarely pointed directly at Republicans.

Oh, and I love how you declare victory without providing a shred of evidence to support your "opinion". I guess that's the Ville m.o. in action again! LOL!!!

It's so easy to rip you apart because you will say anything to score points in an argument, regardless of the facts, what you've said in the past, or what you really believe.

Maybe you ought to start taking Prevagen so that you won't forget which side of the argument you're taking on any given day.

Tim Scott might be the one candidate who's trying to go in a different direction with a positive message in the tone of Reagan/Obama, but that's going to be hard to do when 8-9 other candidates are engaged in a mudfight.

Tomorrow is certainly going to be interesting. I’m hoping that most of the night is spent on policy but that’s probably wishful thinking. I like a few of the candidates but I’m afraid they are all going to be vying for second. Maybe we will all be surprised and common sense will prevail.

Republicans could nominate a rock and beat Biden, but instead they will probably nominate the one person/thing that could lose to him.

Yeah that’s the part I don’t get. There’s three candidates that would win easily next year but they’ll nominate trump who would probably lose to just about everyone on the democratic side.

Where's the evidence that other candidates would do better than Trump? From the latest Fox poll:

General Election: Trump vs. Biden FOX News Biden 44, Trump 41 Biden +3
General Election: DeSantis vs. Biden FOX News Biden 44, DeSantis 39 Biden +5
General Election: Ramaswamy vs. Biden FOX News Biden 42, Ramaswamy 38 Biden +4
General Election: Haley vs. Biden FOX News Biden 42, Haley 36 Biden +6
General Election: Scott vs. Biden FOX News Biden 42, Scott 36 Biden +6

Does anyone have another poll showing something different?

If only popular votes and polls of Republican voters done more than a year in advance determined general elections.
